Avaliação da exposição a BTEX em postos de revenda de combustíveis no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, e os riscos à saúde do trabalhador

Abstract: A gasolina é uma mistura complexa de substâncias, dentre elas estão hidrocarbonetos como o benzeno, tolueno, etilbenzeno e xilenos (BTEX), sendo esses compostos emitidos para a atmosfera, com destaque ao benzeno, por ser comprovadamente carcinogênico. Objetivamos avaliar as concentrações de BTEX no ar de postos de revenda de combustíveis no Município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, e calcular o risco de câncer associado a estas exposições. Foram realizados dois tipos de amostragem (fixa e móvel) adaptadas da metodo… Show more

“…Figueiredo et al 6 , studying the concentration of substances utilized to produce gasoline at gas stations in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, noticed that benzene concentrations were above the levels recommended by the current legislation and that these places were potentially dangerous for gas station workers who refuel on daily bases due to the carcinogenic potential of this substance 21 .…”

“…Benzene is a colourless, volatile, soluble, flammable liquid with a high carcinogenic potential that poses a considerable danger to human health even at small doses [18]. Benzene is associated with gasoline and vehicle exhaust emissions, which permeate gas stations, and workers are inevitably exposed to them in the course of their work [19]. The World Health Organisation has identified benzene as a strong carcinogen.…”

“…The seepage of the hydrocarbons derived from petroleum into the soil is a significant environmental problem, due to the widespread occurrence of leaks and the highly toxic nature of the contaminants that reach the underground waters used for human consumption [5,6]. These sources of contamination, contaminants derived from gasoline in particular, may also affect large numbers of workers and local residents in the area surrounding the gas stations [7][8][9][10].…”
